I have great respect for @nealemahoney & @BharatRamamurti, but I just about pulled my hair out reading their op-ed this morning.
Price controls aren't going to be "a way out" unless their advocates can credibly commit not to apply them to today's projects tomorrow.

They fail to acknowledge that the NYC controls that Mamdani campaigned on strengthening (w/o income targeting...) have been in place for 50+ years; that popularity of rent controls surely depends on them *not* being income targeted;

(THREAD 🧵) Ever notice how stupidity often sounds confident and wisdom stays quiet? We live in a world where volume is mistaken for intelligence and arrogance hides behind fake certainty. People argue not to understand but to win. They talk louder, not wiser.
Marcus Aurelius once said, "If someone is mistaken, instruct them kindly if you can. If not, bear with them." Because the Stoics knew this truth: you can't reason with arrogance disguised as knowledge. You can only protect your peace, your clarity, and your time.
We'll explore eight clear signs of a truly foolish person. How to recognize them, how to avoid becoming like them, and how to handle stupidity with calm mastery.
Because fighting fools drains your energy; understanding them sharpens your wisdom.
Stay till the end. The last sign might reveal something about you.

SIGN 1: They speak more than they think.
There's a reason the Stoics valued silence as much as courage. Because a fool reveals himself not through what he knows, but through what he cannot stop saying.
We've all met that person. The one who fills every pause with noise. Who mistakes constant talking for confidence. They don't ask questions. They don't reflect. They speak only to prove they exist.
But as Zeno, the founder of stoicism, once said, "Better to trip with the feet than with the tongue." Words are powerful tools, but in the hands of the undisciplined, they become weapons against others and eventually against themselves.
A person who talks more than they think isn't just careless with speech. They are careless with perception. They miss what's said between the lines. They confuse noise for knowledge, speed for insight, and volume for intelligence.
The fool talks to be heard. The wise talk to understand. And the stoic, he talks only when silence no longer serves.
Because to the stoic, silence isn't emptiness. It's mastery. It's the moment between impulse and control where truth gathers its weight before it's spoken. That pause, that sacred gap is where wisdom lives.
Watch how easily people betray themselves when they speak too quickly. They reveal insecurity behind arrogance, fear behind certainty, and ignorance behind confidence. They don't listen because listening means admitting they don't already know.
They fill the air with noise to drown out the discomfort of not being the smartest person in the room. But wisdom begins exactly there. In that discomfort, in that humility to say, "Maybe I don't know yet." The fool avoids silence because in silence he would have to face himself.
Marcus Aurelius once wrote, "If it is not right, do not do it. If it is not true, do not say it." That's how the Stoics treated words as moral acts, not casual noise. They believe speech should serve truth or remain unspoken.
Every word is a promise, a reflection of your discipline, your clarity, your self-control. That's why wise people often speak less. They are busy observing, refining, choosing. When a stoic finally speaks, his words carry weight because they are forged in restraint.
1Look at our modern world. Everyone has a platform, yet few have purpose. People talk to be seen, not to contribute. They argue not to learn, but to win. Outrage becomes entertainment, and loudness becomes currency.
But the stoic doesn't compete in that arena. He values presence over performance. When others rush to speak, he waits. When they demand reaction, he breathes. He knows silence unsettles the insecure because silence cannot be argued with.
Imagine this. Two people in a heated argument. One shouts, waves his hands, desperate to prove he's right. The other listens quietly, speaks once, and ends it. Which one looks stronger? Which one has control? That's the difference between noise and power.
Control is silent. Strength doesn't shout. A disciplined tongue is sharper than any insult. The Stoic doesn't need to win arguments. He wins himself. In a world that rewards reaction, restraint becomes rebellion.
Don't let noise trick you into thinking it means. Don't mistake confidence for clarity or speech for strength. Speak only when your words add value, not volume. Because wisdom doesn't rush, it resonates. And silence, when chosen deliberately, speaks louder than any speech ever could.
Silence is not weakness. It's control.

SIGN 2: They get offended by truth.
A fool doesn't fear lies. He fears the truth that exposes him. The truth has a strange power. It doesn't wound the body. It wounds the ego.
Tell a fool something honest, and you'll see how quickly he turns red, how fast his pride rushes to defend itself. He'll attack your tone, your motives, your right to speak—anything to avoid the mirror that truth holds up.
Because to admit you're wrong requires strength, and strength is something a fool refuses to build.
Marcus Aurelius wrote, "If someone corrects you and shows you your mistake, consider it a gift." The wise see truth as a form of love, a mirror that reveals what we can improve. But to the stupid, truth is an insult.
They don't want accuracy. They want approval. They prefer comfort over clarity, flattery over freedom. They'd rather hear a sweet lie than face a hard truth. That's why they surround themselves with echoes. People who never challenge them only confirm them.
Their entire identity is a house of cards built on fragile validation. One gust of truth and it collapses.
You'll see this everywhere. Someone offers honest feedback, not to hurt, but to help. And suddenly the fool grows cold, defensive, angry. "You're being negative," they'll say. Or "Who are you to judge me?" They twist the truth until it sounds like an attack just to protect their pride.
But the Stoic doesn't play that game. He doesn't waste energy convincing those who refuse to see. He lets truth stand on its own because the truth doesn't need defenders. It only needs time.
Seneca warned, "No man heals by denying his wound." The fool covers his pain with pride, hoping no one notices. The wise face it, clean it, and grow stronger. It's the same with truth. The longer you avoid it, the deeper the rot becomes.
But when you face it, you grow beyond it. To the stoic, truth is not a weapon. It's medicine. And though it stings at first, it saves you in the end.
If you speak truth and they get angry, remember it's not you they're fighting, it's reality. Let them rage. Let them twist. Don't argue. You have nothing to prove. Remain calm. Remain grounded. And let their reaction reveal what they are.
The wise don't trade peace for the illusion of winning. They don't chase being right. They aim to be free. In a world that worships comfort, truth becomes rebellion.
To speak honestly without cruelty. To listen without defense. To face correction without shame. That is the discipline of the stoic. You can't control whether people accept the truth, but you can control whether you stay composed when they reject it.
And that's real power. Calm in the face of chaos. Clarity in the storm of emotion. Truth hurts the ego, not the wise.

141 years ago today, the Berlin Conference opened.
It was a conference where European nations established the 'legal' claim that all of Africa could be occupied by whomever could take it.
They set out murdering africans and taking their wealth to make Europe wealthier.

Tbh I think if someone fr wants to learn malware development you shouldn't even begin studying malware techniques
You should focus on things that interact with the OS, like file creation (and all the silly quirks of it on Windows), working with the registry, file system enumeration, basic networking stuff (WinHTTP vs WinInet vs WinSocks vs IpHelper).
Having a good understanding of these will make life a lot easier
Then when you feel really really comfortable and do silly stuff like that, then slowly introduce some malware stuff because a lot of malware stuff is just abusing the concepts described above
Also probably explore the Windows API and all the weird shit inside of it that isn't documented well. I also recommend reviewing ReactOS source code to get an understanding of what's going on under the hood
ReactOS isn't 1-1, but it's close enough

Windows unironically has a fuckin bazillion different ways to make files and work with them. Even understanding all of these different ways can be super beneficial
If I had the time, energy patience, and anime, i could make like a fucking 2 hour long documentary on YouTube just discussing file creation on Windows (from the user mode side)

What if Hitler’s war machine was financed not by Berlin but by Wall Street? I bet you've never heard of the Dawes Plan (1924) and the Young Plan (1929). Let's unpack why it's important and why you never heard about it in school 🧵👇
A consortium of American investment banks, backed by the U.S. State Department, orchestrated Germany’s postwar “recovery.” The Dawes Plan (1924) was about control: It plugged Germany directly into the Anglo-American financial system, turning its economy into a satellite of Wall Street and the City of London.
Here’s how it worked:
🔸 Control through debt
The reparations crisis after World War I made Germany dependent on foreign credit. The Dawes Plan, drafted by American banker Charles G. Dawes and approved by U.S. diplomats, handed effective control of the German economy to an international board dominated by Wall Street financiers.
Every mark Germany paid as “reparations” came from American loans, meaning the Allies were repaid with their own money, filtered through German debt.

At the heart of this web were the Warburgs, a transatlantic banking dynasty linking New York, Hamburg, and London.
Paul Warburg, co-founder of the U.S. Federal Reserve, had already laid the foundation for America’s central banking power. His brother Max Warburg, head of M.M. Warburg & Co. in Hamburg (Germany) and a director of the Reichsbank, advised both Dawes and Hjalmar Schacht (later Hitler’s finance chief).
Through this dual network (Wall Street on one side, the Reichsbank on the other) the Warburgs acted as a bridge for American capital into German industry. The Dawes and later Young Plan (1929) weren’t “aid packages” but mechanisms through which German economic sovereignty was absorbed into the Anglo-American banking orbit.
